  • Paul Slavens

    I am here waiting for you to communicate coolness to me.

  • Robert Fripp’s Intimidating Silence

    How did you get this far in life, and as spiffy as you are, without ever finding out about Social Distortion? Explain, or don’t.

  • Mike McCarthy

    Paul;

    As always, thanks for wonderful “lateral linkage” that your music selections provide and create!

    Here’s one based on the Social Distortion tune “Story of my Life” you played earlier this evening: That was the closing song in Adam Carolla’s under-rated but very enjoyable movie “The Hammer.”

    Carolla is a also a big fan of The Offspring (SoCal connection), and I like the very tongue-in-cheek “Pretty Fly for White Guy” by them.

    Thanks again for your entertaining (and educational) show.

    Semper Fi,

    Mike McC

    Hey Paul,

    How about some Chet Atkins next week? I first heard him on your show a few years back and absolutely love his unique and varied guitar work — great stuff.

    Thanks for the tunes!

  • Hi Paul

    Can you play some Hank Williams III? Like “Mississippi Mud”? Thanks Paul.

  • Paul Slavens

    These are all nifty ideas and a good mix of styles too.
    Excellent! Thanks.

  • Reg

    Could you play some Art Tatum? Yesterdays?

    Or Phillip Glass.

  • Paul Slavens

    I could definitely get some of that on next week.

  • Susan

    I thought that in The Blues Brothers when they were all outside, they were singing Shake Your Tailfeather.

  • Listening to something you played a few minutes back reminded me of Nimrod Workman. He was an old Appalachian coal miner famous for his excellent renditions of some of that region’s folk music. Not sure if you’ve heard him, but you should check some of his singing out. I first saw him in a documentary about mining — he’s a great musician to be check out.

  • Jon A. Haslett

    There’s a video of John Lee Hooker singing “Boom, Boom” in “The Blues Brothers” here:

  • Paul Slavens

    Cool! I will check that vid when I get home
    and I would love to check out Nimrod Workman.
    Thanks a bunch, a new discovery for me !!!
    Cheers

  • joseba

    Hey Paul, I believe it’s “Hank WILSON’S Back”,
    not to split hairs, But love the album.

  • Paul Slavens

    Yeah, I saw that on my setlist but I thought it was a misprint so I said Williams, but yep, you are right.

  • Jon A. Haslett

    It’d be nice if you played some Killdares. How about “Glasgow” from “Secrets of the Day,” which I’ve never heard them play live.

  • Paul Slavens

    I will see if I can locate it.
    Thanks

  • joseba

    BTW, Great show!, Even liked the, ahem, Partridge Family thingy.

    Keep up the good work.

  • Paul Slavens

    Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that song. Its very well put together
    and it was a huge hit.

  • Paul Slavens

    Thanks as always for sharing the evening and your suggestions
    tune in next week !

    Cheers,
    p

  • Dave

    Thanks for the intro to Imogene Heap. Wow. Just bought the album.

  • JoAnn Philips

    I’ve got a new CD from an extremely talented young man from the Dallas area, Michael Jay Purser. The cd is called,”Snaps and Shakes”, and my favorite song is called “Dreaming”. It’s such a great song, would really love to hear it on the radio!

  • Porcupine Tree. From the U.K. Their last Album “The Incident” Is incredible. They have been around for quite awhile and have many more.

  • Oh yeah, great show Paul thanks alot
